Chapter 174: Gao Ge
On the slender pontoon bridge that spans the entire Qianqidu, there are still many snake people. Under the reprimand of the generals, half of them went back to the north bank, and half of them accelerated to the south bank, but even if they were broken in half, the pontoon bridge was still too long for these ordinary snake people.
But Ling Ying wouldn't wait for them, and she wouldn't care about them. He flew along the pontoon bridge from the south bank to the north bank, and at the same time poured a large amount of fire oil, regardless of the fact that the fire oil was poured on the head of the snake man, and those who were drenched had to jump into the river to wash off the oil themselves......
Then, the fire started, and the whole pontoon bridge ignited in an instant, turning into a fire line that lay across the water!
At this time, the white waves that came from the upstream finally came to Qianqidu.
"Boom! Prosperous! Long ......"
The waves were like a charge of 100,000 heavy horsemen, making a monstrous noise, and at the same time setting off a watery wind and slapping on my face.
But that's all, because Qianqidu is too vast, more than ten miles wide, no matter how big the waves come here, the "anger" will be quelled by its broad "mind".
The huge waves that came from the impact were several miles wide, and quickly extended to both sides, first for more than ten miles, and then spread to the flat river bank, I don't know how many miles wider.
I saw that the huge waves, which were originally the same height as the top of Qicheng City, were getting shorter and shorter. When it hit the pontoon, it was already less than a foot high, and even the pontoon bridge was not broken, but just swung it high.
Many of the flames were extinguished, but the oil was extremely viscous, and when the water fell, the flames came out again.
But the purpose of the Izumo rebels to store water was not to use water to drown the snake people.
Ling Ying had traveled two hundred miles to reconnoitre, but he had not found the Izumo rebels, so it could be seen that their fleet was stationed in the extreme upper reaches.
At normal speed, it would have taken a long time for the Izumo fleet to reach Kankido from the station.
But with the huge waves, their fleet sailed more than ten times faster. It's so fast that the army of snakes doesn't have time to react!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The earth-shattering war drums sounded, and the Izumo fleet was first thirty ships.
The Stern were the heavily armored knights of the ship, and they lined up and crashed down the river into the pontoon. After smashing it apart, it continued to row downstream without the slightest stop.
And nearly a thousand ships behind them followed. The ship was full of soldiers, who shot from a distance with their bows and crossbows, or stabbed with spears, and constantly killed the snake men who fell into the water on the pontoon.
Luckily, there were burning pontoon debris that hindered the movement of the Izumo ships, allowing many snake men to dodge or escape......
"Put!"
Qi Lin's eyes were about to split, and the long sword in his hand swung down heavily, and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, nearly 100 dragon hunting crossbows in the rear were fired in unison. These dragon hunting crossbows have a range of up to three miles, enough to reach some ships close to the shore.
Nearly 100 dragon hunting crossbow arrows shot away, killing a lot of damage. The Izumo fleet also retaliated with dragon hunting crossbows, and many snakes were killed and wounded.
But this is only a trivial foreplay, and the dragon hunting crossbow alone cannot influence the situation of the battle at all.
Nearly 1,000 Izumo ships, at least more than 50,000 troops, plus the remnants of the defenders of Qi City, the Izumo rebels have nearly 60,000 troops.
The snake army was divided into two, and the snake people on the south bank of Qishui were less than 30,000......
It was destined to be a tragic battle, and my breathing began to grow short, and I couldn't help but look at Qi Cheng behind me.
In Qi City, the snake people invested 5,000 troops, and the little medicine fairy also went to the city to help—I don't know if she occupied Qi City first, or if the Izumo fleet landed first ashore?
If it is the former, we can still retreat into the city of Qi and defend the city; If it's the latter, I naturally can't die, but I can probably only take Qilin with me, and under the protection of the little medicine fairy and Ling Ying, I will flee back to the north bank of Qishui in embarrassment.
When the time comes, not only will they be defeated, but they will also lose 30,000 snake men; It will also be blocked by the Izumo rebels north of Kisui and unable to reinforce the Gama Empire.
The situation in the Gama Empire is sure to become more and more critical......
"Elder Ling, in the fleet of the Izumo rebels, is there a Dou Wang and a Dou Huang?"
I gazed at the mighty fleet of Izumo rebels, who had changed formation. In addition to nearly 10,000 soldiers cruising in the Qishui Center, the remaining 40,000 people were divided into more than ten fleets of different sizes.
The small one has only one or twenty ships and more than a thousand soldiers; The big ones had hundreds of ships and five or six thousand soldiers.
They want to go ashore at the same time!
I bared my teeth for a while, and these more than ten fleets spread out along the south bank of Qishui, and the line was forty or fifty miles long. At the same time, the beaches faced by these fleets are also flat beaches that are easy to land.
If you look closely, you can see that the beaches where the Izumo fleet tried to land had been prepared in advance—for example, the reeds were cut, the rocks were removed, and the ravines were bulldozed.
In short, it is conducive to the landing of the fleet from the water, and not to the shore defense.
These details, in retrospect, are simply incomprehensible. But before, we were so carried away by the victory that we didn't even notice these things!
It's been planned for a long time, it's been planned for a long time!
A chill rose from the depths of my heart, shaking me a little. At this time, Ling Ying gave me good news and restored some confidence.
"The old man didn't sense the Douhuang in the fleet, only the breath of the two Douwang."
Just two fighting kings?
This relieved me, it seems that the Izumo rebels are starting to be overstretched in the face of the Gama Empire, the Serpent Clan, and even the Izumo Empire.
Even in the face of the snake people, they can't transfer the strong people of the Douhuang to sit in charge......
At this time, the drums of the Izumo fleet suddenly changed and rushed like raindrops, this is the order to attack!
Suddenly, more than ten fleets and nearly 800 ships that had been reorganized on Qishui for a while sailed towards the south bank of Qishui at the same time from a line forty or fifty miles long.
It's like a dozen fierce crocodiles, and like a dozen sharp knives, swooping towards the shore with a fierce momentum!
In the face of such a large-scale landing battle, there was nothing Qilin could do at all. She now only has nearly 30,000 people in her hands, 5,000 are put on the battlefield of Qicheng, 5,000 are reserved as reserves, and only 20,000 snake people can be dispersed.
As a result, at each landing site, the number of snake people defending was only half of that of the other party - which made the disadvantage of the lack of strength of the snake people to the maximum.
As long as any landing site is lost, and the Izumo fleet is allowed to go ashore, it will be a "thousand-mile embankment, collapsed in an anthill", and the entire line of defense will be completely broken!
……
……
"Jiang Han floats, and martial arts are surging. Bandits and bandits, Huaiyi came to beg. Both out of my car, and set up me. Bandit An, Huaiyi to shop ......"
I don't know who took the lead, maybe it was a nervous new pawn, maybe it was an old official who was used to seeing life and death, and he sang this poem.
Suddenly, more than a dozen fleets, nearly 800 ships, and 40,000 Izumo soldiers sang in unison on a front that stretched for forty or fifty miles.
The singing they hissed and shouted formed a new "huge wave", a "huge wave" that could not be seen, but it was like a real "huge wave", and it slapped towards the more than 20,000 snake people guarding the shore.
Who said that Izumo has no strong army? Who dares to say that Izumo is a weak country?!
Singing with their mouths in their mouths, they either clenched their blades in their hands or rowed with all their might, and rushed towards the shore with no relentless courage.
In the singing, there was no trace of fear in their eyes, only anger.
They glared at the Serpent People, the invaders, the aliens who invaded their homes, seized their lands, and killed their loved ones.
Aliens, all damned!
